Waiting on Wednesday #76

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @Breaking the Spines. This is a cool way to spotlight a upcoming release that you're anxious about, as well as checking out what other book lovers are anticipating as well. So, check out my WoW for this week:

Living out of a car and waiting tables to make ends meet is hardly the stuff of fairy tales. So when a gorgeous man approaches Alyx Dagmar with a wild story about her royal lineage and an even wilder proposition, the aspiring actress is sure he’s got the wrong woman.

Self-made billionaire Daniel Voldakov needs connections before he can expand his software business into Europe. A blue-blooded fiancée would open all the right doors—and Daniel’s certain he can tempt the pretty but penniless Princess Alyxandretta to accept the part she was born to play.

Alyx can’t resist Daniel’s offer, and throws herself into the role. But as the paparazzi fall in love with their “storybook romance,” Alyx finds herself drawn to Daniel in ways she’d never imagined. Are his returned affections true, or all just part of the plan? He’ll do anything it takes to prove his love, and to make her see that the only happily ever after he wants is with her…the real her.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance.

At twenty-two years old, Sydney has a great life: She's in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter's cheating on her and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by Ridge, her mysterious neighbor. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to his playing his guitar every day out on his balcony. And there's something about Sydney that Ridge can&#8217;t ignore, either. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one.

Anne Dowling becomes entangled in a web of secrets involving a missing student and a conspiracy at Wheatley Prep in this fast-paced, juicy follow-up to Prep School Confidential.

Anne Dowling—a fresh, original, and funny new YA heroine whose knowing, irreverent voice will remind readers of Pretty Little Liars and Private—is back for her second semester at Wheatley Prep. Although things have settled (somewhat) since her roommate Isabella’s death, Anne's still kind of obsessed with the disappearance of Wheatley student Matthew Weaver thirty years ago, since she found a picture of him and his crewmates with the words “they killed him” scrawled on the back among Isabella’s things.

When Anne learns that her boyfriend Brent’s dad is one of the now-powerful Wheatley alumni who rowed crew with Matthew, and that the crew team continues to induct new members with a creepy-sounding ritual called “The Drop,” she knows further investigation could put her relationship with Brent in danger. Determined to discover the truth, she reaches out to Anthony, Isabella’s townie brother, who helps her delve deeper into the secrets in Wheatley’s past. Secrets someone would kill to keep hidden. As the school’s Spring Formal—and its notorious afterparty—approaches, Anne sees the perfect opportunity to do some off-campus digging into the lives of Wheatley’s VIPs in this thrilling, unputdownable read—but if she’s not careful, she’ll be the next student who never comes back.

Why I'm Waiting

Aside from the fact that I'm addicted to contemporary right now. I really like romance, emotional stories, and a lot of mystery and intrigue. All three sound like they serve up pretty interesting dishes and can't wait to get my hands on each. I'm especially eager to read the Kara Taylor sequel because I liked the first book and love boarding school settings in YA. Can't wait to continue Anne's story.

Great picks! I'm definitely looking forward to Wicked Little Secrets! The first book really surprised me with how much I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing what mess she gets embroiled in now. :) Thanks for stopping by mine!

Wicked Little Secrets! Prep School Confidential was a surprise for me, wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, so can't wait for that one either. Maybe Someday seems to be a popular choice, and I didn't even know about Some Like It Royal until now, but it sounds great. Thanks for stopping by mine earlier. :)

Aw, they look like cute books :D Not sure if they are for me at the moment, but I do like looking at pretty covers. <3 Hope you'll love them all :)Thank you so much for commenting on my blog ages ago. <3 Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
